Depends on what you’re trying to get out of it

Masters - no. MBA - only if u get into top 15 program

There’s really no purpose besides wasting your money. Request an internal transfer and learn that way while getting paid for it.

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns. My parents claim my grandfather as a dependent on their tax return and due to their low income, receive PTC for the premiums they pay on his insurance (not eligible for medicare). However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
